SCENE 01 / POST PRODUCTION AUDIO
Post-Production Audio
Professional sound editing, ADR, Foley, and mixing for film and TV productions.
Here is how this works in practice. Post-prod audio transforms raw location recordings into a polished, immersive soundtrack. With access to Park Road Post — part of the Weta campus in Wellington — we connect you with top-tier engineers who have worked on Oscar-winning films and major global shoots. This phase covers dialogue editing, ADR, sound design, Foley, music scoring, and final mixing, all working together to create the layered audio experience that supports and boosts the visual storytelling.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with post-prod audio facilities and engineers across New Zealand who deliver broadcast and cinema-standard results. Our team sets up the full audio post workflow from dialogue cleanup through final mix, working with facilities including Park Road Post, Stone Street Studios, and top Wellington audio post facilities, making sure your project meets tech delivery needs and creative expectations.

Post-Production Audio Anchored by Park Road Post
Here is how this works in practice. Our post-prod audio services in New Zealand integrate with Park Road Post in Wellington's Miramar — the country's flagship picture and sound finishing site, founded by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, where Howard Shore mixed the LOTR / Hobbit scores, where Avatar Way of Water's Dolby Atmos / IMAX mixes were finalised, and where Power of the Dog, Mortal Engines, Thor: Ragnarok, and the ongoing Rings of Power deliverables are routed.
Pro Tools HDX / HD Native sessions, Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 and 9.1.6 tracking, Avid S6 console operation, and full ADR / Foley / dialogue-edit / sound-design / pre-mix / re-record chains are ready at Park Road, with secondary delivery partners across Auckland's commercial post houses (Native Audio, Franklin Road, BigPop Studios) for broadcast and brand work. ADR stages support many feeds, including remote talent capture from Los Angeles, London, and Sydney via Source-Connect.
Here is the short of it. The post-audio heritage in Aotearoa is among the deepest in the world: Mike Hopkins and Ethan Van der Ryn won the Best Sound Editing Oscar for King Kong (2006) and were nominated for The Return of the King. Hopkins, Christopher Boyes, Michael Semanick and Hammond Peek won Best Sound Mixing for The Return of the King (2004). Avatar Way of Water received Best Sound nominations and won Best Visual Effects (2023).
Here is how this works in practice. We set up Manatū Taonga (Ministry of Culture & Heritage) and Te Puni Kōkiri (Māori Development) liaison where te reo Māori dialogue, taonga puoro instrumentation, or kapa haka recording feature in delivery. We handle NZSPG 5% post-prod NZ-content uplift records through the New Zealand Film Commission alongside the headline 20% + 5% productivity uplift for principal photography. And we manage cross-border deliverable formats for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and theatrical Dolby Atmos chains.
